Pronunciation Guide
I deliberately try to keep my alien names easy to pronounce, so you won’t find any X’lth’Mqur or Tzthl’Mkxx names in the series. But in case some of the names are still questionable, here is the handy dandy RUNNERS pronunciation guide to some of the characters, ships, and locations that appear in the series:
